On the later to occur of February 1, 2016 or the third (3rd) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2(a), CHS shall make a Capital Contribution to the Company in cash in an amount equal to $2,800,000,000 (the “CHS Capital Contribution”). In return for the CHS Capital Contribution and subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2(b), the Company shall issue Membership Interests representing the Percentage Interest set forth in the second column opposite its name on Schedule A. Such date that CHS makes the CHS Capital Contribution shall be referred to herein as the “CHS Closing Date”. Among other things, CHS is making the CHS Capital Contribution in order to obtain its Membership Interests, representing its right to receive its share of profits, losses and distributions in the Company, as set forth in this Agreement.

5.2     Closing Conditions.

(a)     The obligation of CHS to make the CHS Capital Contribution is subject to the satisfaction (or waiver to the extent permitted by applicable Laws) on or prior to the CHS Closing Date of the following conditions:

(i)     no judgment, temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction, ruling, determination, decision, opinion or comparable judicial or regulatory action issued by, entered into, or otherwise put into effect by or under the authority of any Governmental Authority, or any provision of any applicable Laws (collectively, “Restraints”) shall be in effect that prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the CHS Financial Closing;

(ii)     the Services Agreement shall have been duly and validly executed by all parties thereto and shall be in full force and effect;

(iii)     the conditions set forth in Section 2 of the Letter Agreement shall have been satisfied (or waived by CHS);

(v)     CFS shall have performed in all material respects all covenants, agreements and obligations required pursuant to this Agreement to have been performed by it prior to the CHS Financial Closing (and CFS shall have delivered a certificate executed by a duly authorized officer of CFS certifying that the conditions set forth in clauses (iii) and (iv) and this clause (v) have been satisfied).

(v)     CHS shall have performed in all material respects all covenants, agreements and obligations required pursuant to this Agreement to have been performed by it prior to the CHS Financial Closing (and CHS shall have delivered a certificate executed by a duly authorized officer of CHS certifying that the conditions set forth in clauses (iii) and (iv) and this clause (v) have been satisfied).

5.3     Initial Capital Contributions of CFS. CFS is deemed to be contributing the Assets to the Company as a Capital Contribution, effective as of the CHS Closing Date and each of CFS and CHS agree that the Fair Market Value of such Assets as of the CHS Closing Date shall equal $24,561,403,500.

Each of CFS and CHS agrees that the Capital Account balance of CFS shall be increased as of the CHS Closing Date by the foregoing amount of its contribution. Prior to the CHS Financial Closing, all intercompany indebtedness owed to CF or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, by the Company, on the other hand, shall be capitalized by means of deemed contributions by CFS to the capital of the Company and the Capital Account balance of CFS shall be increased by the amount thereof.

5.4     Additional Capital Contributions.

(a)     If and to the extent the Company shall require additional capital from time to time for any capital expenditures, repair or replacement costs, or increased operation costs in order for the Company’s facilities, including the Assets and other facilities then owned by the Company, to satisfy the Minimum Production Requirements, then CFS shall be required to make additional Capital Contribution(s) in the amount determined by the Board of Managers to permit such operation (“Required Contributions”) upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice thereof from the Board of Managers. If and to the extent the Company shall require additional capital from time to time to satisfy its working capital requirements, then CFS shall be required to make additional Capital Contribution(s) to satisfy such working capital requirements upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice thereof from the Board of Managers. The Board of Managers shall consider whether to require CFS to make such Required Contributions at least once each Fiscal Year in connection with its approval of the annual budget. In addition, CFS shall be permitted, but not required, to make any additional Capital Contributions in excess of the Required Contributions in cash or other property from time to time as it determines in its sole discretion. At such time as CFS makes an additional Capital Contribution to the Company, the amount and form of the additional Capital Contribution shall be based on the Fair Market Value thereof, and shall result in a corresponding increase in such Member’s Capital Account, as determined by the Board of Managers.

(b)     Except for the CHS Capital Contribution, CHS shall not be permitted or required to make Capital Contributions in respect of its Membership Interests.

(c)     The provisions of this Section 5.4 are intended solely for the benefit of the Members in their capacity as members, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, shall not be construed as conferring any benefit upon any creditor (including a Member in its capacity as a creditor) of the Company (and no such creditor shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement), and no Member shall have any duty or obligation to any creditor of the Company to make any additional Capital Contributions or to provide any additional financing or to cause any Member to consent to the making of additional Capital Contributions or to the provision of additional financing.

5.5     Capital Withdrawal Rights; CFS Obligations. CFS shall be permitted, but not required, to withdraw assets from the Company as a return of capital (a “Capital Withdrawal”) from time to time in its sole discretion; provided, however, that at all times prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Company as provided in Article XII, CFS shall be required to (i) maintain sufficient operating assets in the Company such that the Company’s facilities shall have aggregate capacity to produce at least 2,000,000 nutrient tons of fertilizer product (the “Minimum Production Requirements”) and (ii) procure, for the benefit of the Company, a Liquidity Facility with availability of at least $427,000,000 to be used solely for the purposes specified in Section 6.4(d). At such time as CFS makes a Capital Withdrawal, the amount and form of the Capital Withdrawal shall be based on the Fair Market Value thereof, and shall result in a corresponding reduction in the Capital Account of CFS, in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of assets withdrawn.

5.6     Return of Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.5 and Article XII, (a) a Member is not entitled to the return of any part of its Capital Contributions or to be paid interest in

respect of either its Capital Account or its Capital Contributions, (b) an unrepaid Capital Contribution is not a liability of the Company or of any Member, and (c) a Member is not required to contribute or to lend any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return any Member’s Capital Contributions.

5.7     Maintenance of Capital Accounts. For tax purposes, a separate Capital Account shall be established and maintained for each Member in accordance with Code Section 704 and Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and the following provisions:

(a)     Each Member’s Capital Account shall be credited with (a) the amount of any money actually contributed by the Member to the capital of the Company, (b) the Fair Market Value of any property actually contributed (or deemed contributed, whether by the terms of this Agreement or upon a determination by the Board of Managers) by the Member, as determined by the Board of Managers (net of liabilities assumed by the Company or subject to which the Company takes such property), (c) the Member’s share of Net Profits (or items of income or gain) allocated pursuant to Article VI and (d) the amount of any Company liabilities that are assumed by such Member or which are secured by any property distributed to such Member under Code Section 752. Each Member’s Capital Account shall be decreased by (x) the amount of any money actually distributed (or deemed distributed) to the Member by the Company, (y) the Fair Market Value of any property distributed to or withdrawn by the Member (including Capital Withdrawals), and (z) the Member’s share of Net Losses (or items of loss, expense or deduction) allocated pursuant to Article VI.

(b)     In the event any Member Transfers any Membership Interests in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the Transferor to the extent it relates to the Transferred Membership Interests.

(c)     The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulations Sections 1.704-1 and 1.704-2, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations and any amendment or successor provision thereto.

5.8     Loans from Members. Loans from Members to the Company shall not be considered Capital Contributions. If any Member shall loan funds to the Company, then the making of such loans shall not result in any increase in the Capital Account balance of such Member. The amount of any such loans shall be a debt of the Company to such Member and shall be payable or collectible in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such loans are made.

6.1     Allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses. The Net Profits and Net Losses of the Company for each Fiscal Year or other applicable period shall be allocated annually among the Members as follows:

(a)     First, items of Net Profits and Net Losses attributable to sales or deemed sales (for example, as a result of the in-kind distribution of an asset) of assets (other than inventory and other assets sold pursuant to any of the CFS Supply Agreement, the CFE Supply Agreement or the CHS Supply Agreement) shall be allocated solely to the Capital Account of CFS.

(b)     Second, each Member shall be allocated one percent (1%) of any Net Profits and Net Losses remaining after making the allocations under subsection (a) of this Section 6.1.

(c)     Third, any Net Profits and Net Losses remaining after making the allocations under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 6.1, and which are attributable to sales by the Company of UAN/Urea products, shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in accordance with their relative Member Purchase Percentages.

(d)     Fourth, any Net Profits and Net Losses remaining after making the allocations under subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 6.1 shall be allocated solely to the Capital Account of CFS.

6.2     Special Allocations. The Company shall maintain Capital Accounts and make such allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit as are necessary to comply with Sections 704(b) and (c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder, including any special allocations required by the provisions of such regulations addressing qualified income offset, minimum gain chargeback requirements, and allocations of deductions attributable to nonrecourse debt and partner nonrecourse debt. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1, to the extent the amount distributed to CHS pursuant to Section 6.4 in any Fiscal Year shall exceed the sum of the Net Profits allocated to CHS for such Fiscal Year plus $35,000,000, then the amount of Net Profits allocated to CHS for such Fiscal Year shall be increased so that the total amount of Net Profits allocated shall equal the aggregate amount of distributions made to CHS for such Fiscal Year minus $35,000,000. If the Company’s Net Profits are insufficient to be able to allocate such additional amount of Net Profits to CHS, CHS shall be allocated gross items of income equal to such excess. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1, no allocation of Net Losses (or items thereof) shall be made to any Member if such allocation would create (or increase) a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account. Any such disallowed allocation shall be made to the Member entitled to receive such allocation under the Section 704(b) Regulations. Any Member with a deficit balance in its Capital Account (taking into account distributions under Section 6.4 for such period) shall be specially allocated Net Profits (or items thereof) otherwise allocable under subsections (b) and (c) of Section 6.1 in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit balance as quickly as possible. Upon a liquidation of the Company, CHS shall be entitled to an allocation of one percent (1%) of the gain or loss (as limited pursuant to Schedule C hereto) in the Company’s assets as determined at that time (based on the fair value of the Company’s assets), and CHS’ capital account shall be adjusted by the amount of such allocation.

6.3     Capital Account Determinations. All matters concerning the computation of Capital Accounts, the allocation of items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and expense for all purposes of this Agreement and the adoption of any accounting procedures not expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement shall be determined, in its reasonable discretion, by the Tax Matters Member. Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the Tax Matters Member determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto, are computed in order to effectuate the intended economic sharing arrangement of the Members, the Tax Matters Member may make such modification.

6.4     Distributions.

(a)     Subject to the restrictions imposed by applicable Law, distributions to the Members with respect to Membership Interests shall be made in respect of each Distribution Period to the Members in cash as follows:

(i)     First, to each of CHS and CFS, in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Net Profits (excluding items of Net Profits attributable to sales or deemed sales of assets, other than assets sold pursuant to any of the CFS Supply Agreement, the CFE Supply Agreement or the CHS Supply Agreement), if any;

(ii)     Second, to (A) CHS, in an amount that is calculated in accordance with Schedule D hereto, and (B) CFS, in an amount that is calculated in accordance with Schedule D hereto; and

(iii)     Third, if and to the extent Net Profits for such year exceed (i) and (ii) above, an amount equal to such excess shall be paid to CFS, less the amount of any intercompany loan obligations of the Company owed by the Company to Affiliates of the Company.

(b)     If and to the extent that, as of the date any distribution pursuant to subsection (a) shall become payable to the Members, there shall be any outstanding intercompany indebtedness owed to the Company by CFS or any of its Affiliates, then the Company shall offset such indebtedness such that the then-outstanding principal balance and accrued interest of such indebtedness shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount that would have otherwise been distributed to CFS, and the Company shall only be required to pay CFS the excess, if any, of the amount of such distributions over the then-outstanding principal balance and accrued interest of such indebtedness.

(c)     Distributions for any Fiscal Year (other than a year in which a Company Sale or dissolution or liquidation shall occur) shall be in respect of each Distribution Period on July 31 and January 31 of each Fiscal Year, as follows: (i) distributions payable with respect to a Distribution Period ending on June 30th shall be calculated by the Company and paid to the Members on July 31 (immediately following the applicable Distribution Period) and (ii) distributions payable with respect to a Distribution Period ending on December 31st shall be calculated by the Company and paid to the Members on January 31 (immediately following the applicable Distribution Period), provided that in each case any under-distribution or over-distribution shall be trued up within 30 days thereafter. Distributions of proceeds from a Company Sale shall be made within 30 days of the receipt by the Company of the proceeds of such Company Sale in the manner provided in Section 12.2. All distributions upon dissolution and liquidation of the Company shall be made only in accordance with Section 12.2.

(d)     If, at the time that distributions are payable by the Company pursuant to Section 6.4(c), the Company does not have sufficient cash on hand to pay the amount due CHS pursuant to Section 6.4(a)(ii)(A), then the Company shall draw upon the Liquidity Facility, up to the amounts available under the Liquidity Facility (including any renewal, extension, replacement, or supplement issued thereafter), for any shortfall in the cash available to pay the full amount of the distribution calculated pursuant to Section 6.4(a)(ii)(A) and immediately thereafter distribute such amounts solely to CHS.

(e)     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and prior to the application of subsection (a), promptly after the CHS Closing Date the Company shall distribute cash in an amount equal to $2,800,000,000 to CFS as a reimbursement of preformation capital expenditures within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.707-4(d), and CFS’ Percentage Interest as of the CHS Closing Date shall give effect to such distribution.

6.5     Distributions Other Than Cash. Upon request by CFS for a Capital Withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.5, the Board of Managers shall be permitted, in its sole discretion, to distribute property other than cash to CFS from time to time, subject to applicable Law and the limitation that the Company maintain sufficient Assets to satisfy the Minimum Production Requirements set forth in Section 5.5.

Upon a distribution of property other than cash, such property shall be deemed to have been sold at its Fair Market Value on the date of such distribution and the proceeds of such sale shall be deemed to have been distributed to the Member(s) receiving such distribution for all purposes of this Agreement. Gain or loss on assets distributed in kind shall be allocated to Capital Accounts in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI.

6.6     Amounts Withheld. The Company is authorized to withhold from distributions to the Members and to pay over to any federal, foreign, state, or local government any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any other federal, foreign, state or local Law. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state, foreign or local tax Law with respect to any distribution to a Member shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Member for all purposes under this Agreement.

6.7     No Right to Receive Distributions. No Member shall have the right to demand or receive distributions of any amount, except as expressly provided in this Article VI and Section 12.2.

6.8     Capital Account Restoration. No Member shall have an obligation to the Company, any other Member or any third party or creditor to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account upon a dissolution or other liquidation of the Company in accordance with Article XII or otherwise.

7.1     Management by the Board of Managers. The Members shall not manage or control the business and affairs of the Company, except for such matters that require approval of Members as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Except for such matters that require approval of Members as expressly set forth in this Agreement, including Section 4.9(a), the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by a board of managers as appointed in the manner provided in Section 7.2 (the “Board of Managers”) which shall have and may exercise all of the powers that may be exercised or performed by managers (as such term is defined in the Act) of the Company. Except for such matters that require approval of Members as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Board of Managers shall direct, manage and control the business of the Company and shall have full authority, power and discretion to manage and control the business, affairs and properties of the Company, to make all decisions regarding those matters and to perform any and all other acts or activities customary or incident to the management of Company business.

In connection with such semi-annual Board review, each of CFS and CHS shall alternate in proposing to the Board the amount of the Management Adder for each Distribution Period, with CFS being entitled to propose the amount of Management Adder with respect to the first Distribution Period ending June 30, 2016. Any change to the Management Adder (other than as a result of Dispute resolution proceedings or application of the Management Escalator, to the extent applicable pursuant to Section 4 of Schedule D hereto) shall require unanimous approval of the Board. The Board shall cause such semi-annual review and, as applicable, approval, to take place timely in accordance with the terms of such Section 4 of Schedule D to this Agreement; provided, however, that in making such determination and granting such semi-annual approval of the Management Adder, each of the Managers shall act in good faith to establish a Management Adder for the applicable Distribution Period and shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the Management Adder proposed by either CFS or CHS, as applicable.

Member, Tax Matters Member or any of their respective Affiliates (including their respective partners, managers, members, shareholders, directors and officers) shall owe any duties at Law or in equity (including fiduciary duties) to the Company or to any Member or Manager (or any other Person), and that the Managers, Members and Tax Matters Member shall only have such obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement. Any fiduciary obligations owed by the Managers, Members and Tax Matters Member to the Company or Members that may otherwise exist under applicable Law are hereby eliminated to the fullest extent permitted under the Act.

8.1     Exculpation. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, whether express or implied, or any obligation or duty at Law or in equity, none of the Covered Persons shall be liable to the Company or any Member or any other Person for any act or omission in relation to the Company, or otherwise relating to the Company or its property or the conduct of its business or affairs, this Agreement, any related document or any transaction or investment contemplated hereby or thereby, provided such act or omission does not constitute fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith.

8.2     Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by the Act, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, liabilities, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (“Claims”), in which the Covered Person may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that he, she or it is a Covered Person or which relates to or arises out of the Company or its property, business or affairs. A Covered Person shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.2 with respect to (i) any Claim with respect to which such Covered Person has engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith or (ii) any Claim initiated by such Covered Person unless such Claim (A) was brought to enforce such Covered Person’s rights to indemnification hereunder or (B) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Managers. Expenses incurred in defending any Claim by (y) a Member or Manager, or any officer, director, stockholder, partner, member, manager, or Affiliate of any Member or Manager shall be paid by the Company and (z) any other Covered Person may be paid by the Company, but only upon the prior written approval of the Board of Managers, upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Managers deems appropriate, in each case, in advance of the final disposition of such Claim upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized by this Section 8.2.

8.3     Liability of Members. All debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company and no Member shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member. The failure of the Company to observe any formalities or

requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business or affairs under this Agreement or the Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members for liabilities of the Company.

8.4     Insurance. The Company shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance to the extent and in such amounts as the Board of Managers shall, in its sole discretion, deem reasonable, on behalf of Covered Persons and such other persons or entities as the Board of Managers shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by any such Person in connection with the activities of the Company, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(b)     Following expiration of the Restricted Period, CHS shall have the right to Transfer all or a Transferable Portion of its Membership Interests to any Person that is not a Competitor, provided, however, that (i) the consideration for such Transfer shall consist solely of cash and (ii) such Transfer shall be subject to the right of first refusal set forth in Section 10.4 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, such Transfer need not also be coupled with a transfer or assignment of the CHS Supply Agreement.

(c)     Any purported Transfer of Membership Interests that does not strictly comply with this Article X shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect whatsoever and neither the Company nor any other Member shall recognize such Transfer. The Member purporting to Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interests in violation of this Article X shall indemnify the Company and the other Members from and against any losses, damages, costs or expenses (including any incremental tax liabilities and attorneys’ fees) resulting from that violation or the enforcement of this indemnity. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any right or remedy that any Member may have against another Member for an unauthorized Transfer of Membership Interests.

(d)     No Transfer or purported Transfer of Membership Interests, whether in whole or a Transferable Portion, permitted by this Agreement shall be effective, and the Company shall not recognize such a Transfer, unless such Transfer complies with the applicable provisions of this Agreement relating to such Transfer and:

(i)     such Transfer shall have been made in accordance with all applicable Laws, including compliance with the Securities Act, related rules and regulations and all applicable state blue sky and securities Laws;

(ii)     such Transfer shall not have caused the Company to be or create a material risk that the Transfer may cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code;

(iii)     such Transfer shall not have been required to be registered under the Securities Act;

(iv)     such Transfer shall not have caused the Company to be or create a material risk that the Transfer may cause the Company to be required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

(v)     such Transfer shall have received all governmental consents and regulatory approvals, if any, required for its consummation;

(vi)     the Member making the Transfer shall have given the Company reasonable advance notice of the Transfer (including as may be required in connection with Section 10.2 or Section 10.4);

(vii)     all necessary instruments reflecting admission of the Transferee as a Member under this Agreement shall have been filed in each jurisdiction in which such filing is necessary in order (A) to qualify the Company to conduct business or (B) to preserve the limited liability of the Members; and

(viii)     the Company shall have been furnished with the documents effecting such Transfer executed and acknowledged by both the transferor and Transferee, together with the written agreement of the Transferee (if not already a Member at the time of such Transfer) to become a party to and be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Member.

(e)     Upon request of the Board of Managers, the Member making the Transfer of all or a Transferable Portion of its Membership Interests, or the Person to which such Transfer is made, shall deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Managers) with respect to any of the matters set forth in clauses (i) to (iv) of Section 10.1(d) (subject, in each case, to assumptions and qualifications that are customary for the opinions so requested).

(f)     Any Transferee of all of the Membership Interests issued to CHS at the CHS Financial Closing (including an Affiliate of CHS in accordance with Section 4.2(b)(ii)) in a Transfer that is permitted under, and has satisfied the conditions set forth in, the provisions of this Article X shall become a Member in place of the transferring Member with respect to such transferred Membership Interests and be entitled to all of the rights, benefits and privileges of such transferring Member. Any Transferee of a Transferable Portion (but less than all) of the Membership Interests issued to CHS at the CHS Financial Closing (including an Affiliate of CHS in accordance with Section 4.2(b)(ii)) in a Transfer that is permitted under, and has satisfied the conditions set forth in, the provisions of this Article X shall be entitled to the rights, benefits and privileges of such assigned Membership Interests under this Agreement (other than the right to designate a Manager pursuant to Section 7.2 (unless designated by CHS, or its permitted Transferee, in accordance with the terms thereof)).

10.2     Transfer to Affiliates. Notwithstanding any restrictions provided in Section 10.1(a), Section 10.1(b), Section 10.1(e) and Section 10.4, a Member may Transfer (a “Group Member Transfer”) all or a Transferable Portion of its Membership Interests at any time, and from time to time, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, without the consent of the Board of Managers or any other Member, to any of its Affiliates (a “Group Member Transferee”), at such Member’s sole discretion. No Transfer by a Member to a Group Member Transferee shall affect the number of Managers that may be appointed by such Member pursuant to this Agreement; provided that if a Group Member Transferee shall acquire all of the Membership Interests of a Member, then such Group Member Transferee shall be substituted for such Member and shall succeed to such Member’s right to appoint Managers.

10.3     Admission of Additional Members.

(a)     No Person (including a Group Member Transferee) shall be admitted as an Additional Member without compliance with Section 10.1(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may a Member Transfer a Transferable Portion of its Membership Interests to a Competitor, whether before or after the Restricted Period.

(b)     Any Additional Member admitted to the Company shall execute and deliver to the Company and the Members any documents required by Section 10.1(d)(viii). The admission of any Person as an Additional Member shall become effective on the date upon which the name of such Person is recorded on Schedule A.

10.4     Right of First Refusal.

(a)     Following the expiration of the Restricted Period, but subject to Section 10.1(d), in the event that CHS has received a bona fide cash offer in writing to purchase all or a Transferrable Portion of the Membership Interests of CHS from a Person that is not a Competitor, before CHS may Transfer such Membership Interests, CHS must first comply with the requirements of this Section 10.4 and other applicable provisions of this Article X.

(i)     CHS, if it plans to accept such offer, shall give written notice (the “Selling Notice”) to the Company and CFS, setting forth the material terms and price of the offer to purchase (which shall be required to be paid in cash) and the name of the Person or Persons making the offer and to whom the Membership Interests are to be sold, and in said notice CHS shall irrevocably offer to sell and transfer to CFS all of the Membership Interests it proposes to sell to such Person (the “Offered Interests”) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be less than a Transferrable Portion) on the terms and at a price equal to the price specified in the Selling Notice plus one percent (1%) (the “Selling Offer”). The preferential right to purchase shall commence upon the date of delivery of the Selling Notice by CHS and shall remain outstanding and be exercisable by CFS for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter.

(ii)     Upon receipt of the Selling Notice, CFS shall have the irrevocable right to accept the Selling Offer as to all, but not less than all, of the Offered Interests at the price in cash and on the other terms specified in the Selling Notice. The rights of CFS pursuant to this Section 10.4(a) shall be exercisable by delivery of notice to CHS (the “Notice of Exercise”), within the thirty (30)-day exercise period stated in Section 10.4(a)(i). The Notice of Exercise shall state that CFS is willing to purchase the Offered Interests from CHS under the Selling Offer. The rights of CFS pursuant to this Section 10.4(a) shall terminate if unexercised within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of the Selling Notice).

(iii)     In the event that CFS exercises its right to purchase all of the Offered Interests in accordance with this Section 10.4(a), then CHS must sell such Offered Interests to CFS (or an Affiliate of CFS designated in writing by CFS) pursuant to the terms of the Selling Notice.

(iv)     For purposes of this Section 10.4(a), in the event that CFS has failed to deliver the Notice of Exercise hereunder within the specified time period, CFS shall be deemed to have waived its rights with respect thereto on the day immediately following the last day of such period.

(b)     If (i) all notices required to be given pursuant to Section 10.4(a) have been duly given and (ii) CFS elects not to purchase the Offered Interests pursuant to this Section 10.4 or waives its right to do so, then CHS shall have the right for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the expiration of the option period pursuant to Section 10.4(a)(i) with respect to such Selling Offer to sell to the Person(s) identified in the Selling Notice all of the Offered Interests at the price and on the other terms specified in the Selling Notice. In the event that no sale pursuant to the terms of the Selling Offer is consummated within such one hundred eighty (180- day period, then any proposed sale of the Membership Interests by CHS shall again be subject to Section 10.4).

(c)     The consummation of any purchase and sale pursuant to this Section 10.4 to CFS shall take place on such date, not later than one hundred (180) days after the expiration of the option period pursuant to Section 10.4(a) with respect to such option, as CFS shall select. Upon the consummation of any such purchase and sale, CHS shall assign to CFS (or its designated Affiliate) good

and valid title to the Offered Interests free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens imposed by this Agreement and federal and state securities Laws (but with no other representations, warranties, indemnities, or undertakings other than customary representations relating to due authorization, execution, delivery, and enforceability and receipt of all required consents), and shall execute and deliver such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effect and evidence the transfer of the Offered Interests.

(d)     Prior to the consummation of any sale pursuant to this Section 10.4, the Transferee shall execute and deliver to the Company and the Members any documents required by Section 10.1(d)(viii) but shall otherwise be required to comply with Section 10.1(d).

10.5     Successors. Upon admission of a Transferee of Membership Interests as an Additional Member, such Additional Member shall be treated as having succeeded to the Capital Account (or portion thereof) of the Member who Transferred such Membership Interests to such Additional Member in respect of the Membership Interests so Transferred.

11.1     No State Law Partnership; Tax Classification. The Members have formed the Company under the Act, and expressly intend that the Company not be a partnership (including a limited partnership) or joint venture. The Members do not intend to be partners or joint venturers with one another, or with any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Members intend for the Company to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes under Regulations Section ###-###-####-3 and analogous provisions of state and local tax Laws; accordingly, the Board of Managers shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, take any action, or fail to take any action, if the taking of or the failure to take, as the case may be, such action would cause the Company to be treated other than as a partnership for such purposes. CFS, as the original member of the Company, shall make an election pursuant to Regulations Section ###-###-####-3(c) for the Company to be treated as an entity disregarded as separate from CFS for federal income tax purposes not later than the CHS Closing Date, with the Company consequently being treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes as of the CHS Closing Date.

11.2     Books and Records. The Company shall keep or cause to be kept at the office of the Company (or at such other place as the Board of Managers in its discretion shall determine) full and accurate books and records regarding the status of the business and financial condition of the Company.

11.3     Access to Information.

(a)     The Company shall deliver to each Member audited annual and unaudited quarterly and monthly financial statements of the Company on a reasonably prompt basis after such reports become available, and in any event within sixty (60) days following the end of the Fiscal Year with respect to audited annual financial statements, within twenty-five (25) Business Days following the end of each quarter with respect to the quarterly financial statements, and within twenty (20) Business Days following the end of each month with respect to the monthly financial statements. The Company shall also deliver to each Member within sixty (60) days after the beginning of each Fiscal Year, a copy of the annual budget for the Company. The Company shall also timely deliver to each Member (i) information reasonably requested for the preparation of such Member’s tax return, (ii) the U.S. federal tax returns of the Company for any Fiscal Year in which a Member was a Member of the Company, (iii) information reasonably requested for any Member or its Affiliates to complete its obligations under Law, (iv) information reasonably requested concerning the calculation of a Member’s distributions under

Article VI, and (v) information reasonably requested with respect to satisfaction of the Minimum Production Requirements and Liquidity Facility requirements set forth in Section 5.5. At the reasonable request of CHS, the Company shall permit CHS’s auditors and regulators access to the Company’s auditors and work papers. The Company shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of CHS with respect to obtaining any required auditor consents. Except as provided in this Section 11.3 and except for the right of access set forth in Section 7.4(b), no Member or its representatives shall have the right to inspect the books and records of the Company, or to inspect or receive financial information regarding the Company, except as may be determined by the Board of Managers in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11.3 has been adopted by all of the Members in accordance with Section 18-305(g) of the Act, and no Member shall have any rights to inspect or receive information regarding the Company under Section 18-305 of the Act or otherwise, except to the extent expressly provided in this Section 11.3.

(b)     The Company shall implement information exchange and competitive rules guidelines, as needed, and consistent with the Antitrust Laws.

11.4     Tax Matters Member. CFS is hereby designated as the Company’s “Tax Matters Member” under Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code, and shall have all the powers and responsibilities of such position as provided in the Code. The Tax Matters Member is specifically directed and authorized to take whatever steps are necessary or desirable to perfect such designation, including filing any forms or documents with the Internal Revenue Service and taking such other action as may from time to time be required under the Regulations issued under the Code. The Tax Matters Member shall cause to be prepared and shall sign all tax returns of the Company, make any tax elections for the Company allowed under the Code or the tax Laws of any state or other jurisdiction having taxing jurisdiction over the Company and monitor any governmental tax authority in any audit that such authority may conduct of the company’s books and records or other documents.

12.1     Dissolution; Liquidating Events. The Company shall be dissolved only upon the determination by all of the Members to dissolve the Company and wind up the affairs of the Company (an “Event of Termination”). No other event, including the retirement, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, insanity, expulsion, bankruptcy, death, incapacity or adjudication of incompetency of a Member (or any Manager), shall cause the Company to be dissolved; provided, however, that in the event of any occurrence resulting in the termination of the continued membership of the last remaining member of the Company, the Company shall be dissolved unless, within ninety (90) days following such event, the personal representative of the last remaining member agrees in writing to continue the Company and to the admission of such personal representative (or any other Person designated by such personal representative) as a member of the Company, effective upon the event resulting in the termination of the continued membership of the last remaining member of the Company.

12.2     Winding-Up.

(a)     In the event that an Event of Termination shall occur, then the Company shall be liquidated and its affairs shall be wound up by the Board of Managers in accordance with Section 18-803 of the Act, and all Membership Interests (and any other interests in the Company, if any) shall be cancelled. The Board of Managers shall be permitted to determine whether to liquidate the Company’s assets or to distribute them in kind to one or more of the Members. The Board of Managers shall be permitted to distribute assets in kind to any one or more Members determined by the Board of Managers,

and to distribute cash proceeds to the other Members. Upon a distribution of an asset in kind, such asset shall be deemed to have been sold at its Fair Market Value on the date of such distribution and the proceeds of such sale shall be deemed to have been distributed to the Member(s) receiving such distribution for all purposes of this Agreement. Gain or loss on assets distributed in kind shall be allocated to Capital Accounts in accordance with the provisions of Article VI. Prior to any distribution of assets or proceeds to the Members in connection with the liquidation of the Company or in the event of a Company Sale, payment shall be made (or reasonable provision for such payment shall be made):

(i)     First, to creditors of the Company that are not Members, in satisfaction of amounts owed by the Company to each such creditor;

(ii)     Second, to creditors of the Company that are Members, in satisfaction of amounts owed by the Company to each such Member, including all amounts owed by the Company to Members for distributions payable at the time of dissolution pursuant to Section 6.4;

(iii)     Third, to the Members pro rata in accordance with their then Capital Account balances (taking into account all allocations resulting from the distribution and winding up of the Company’s affairs and assets) until each Member has received an amount equal to its then Capital Account balance; and

(iv)     Fourth, the balance, if any, 100% to CFS.

(b)     Upon the completion of the distribution and the winding up of the Company’s affairs and the Company’s assets, the Company shall be terminated and the Members shall cause the Company to execute and file a Certificate of Cancellation in accordance with Section 18-203 of the Act.

12.3     Waiver of Partition. Each Member hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any right or power that such Member might have:

(a)     to cause the Company or any of its assets to be partitioned;

(b)     to cause the appointment of a receiver for all or any portion of the assets of the Company;

(c)     to compel any sale of all or any portion of the assets of the Company pursuant to any applicable Law; or

(d)     to file a complaint, or to institute any proceeding at Law or in equity, to cause the termination, dissolution or liquidation of the Company, under Section 18-802 of the Act or otherwise.

Each of the Members has been induced to enter into this Agreement in reliance upon the waivers set forth in this Section 12.3, and, without such waivers, no Member would have entered into this Agreement.

13.1     Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the CHS Closing Date:

(a)     by the mutual written agreement of CHS and CFS;

(b)     by CHS if any of the conditions to closing set forth in Section 5.2(a) shall have become incapable of satisfaction;

(c)     by CFS if any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2(b) shall have become incapable of satisfaction;

(d)     by CHS if (i) the condition set forth in Section 2(a) of the Letter Agreement shall have not been satisfied (or waived by CHS) on or before December 31, 2015 or (ii) the condition set forth in Section 2(b) of the Letter Agreement shall have not been satisfied (or waived by CHS) on or before September 12, 2015; provided, however, that in the event that CFS shall request CHS to seek a private letter ruling pursuant to such Section 2(b) of the Letter Agreement, then CHS shall not have the right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.1(d)(ii) unless and until the Internal Revenue Service has issued a response that does not satisfy the condition set forth in Section 2(b); or

(e)     by CFS if any of the conditions set forth in Section 3 of the Letter Agreement shall not have been satisfied (or waived by CFS) on or before December 31, 2015.

14.1     Amendment to the Agreement. This Agreement may be amended from time to time in the discretion of the Board of Managers without the consent of the Members; provided, however, that any amendment (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) to Sections 3.3, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.9, or Articles V through XIV, or the definition of any defined term used in the Sections or Articles (or Schedules related thereto) requires Member Consent; provided, further, however, that the Board of Managers may amend this Agreement to address the terms and conditions of an admission of an Additional Member and that does not adversely affect the economic rights of other Members.

14.2     Successors; Counterparts. This Agreement (a) shall be binding as to the legal successors, nominees or representatives of the Members and (b) may be executed in several counterparts with the same effect as if the parties executing the several counterparts had all executed one counterpart.

14.3     Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of Law. In particular, this Agreement shall be construed to the maximum extent possible to comply with all the terms and conditions of the Act. If it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provisions or wording of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable under the Act or other applicable Law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate the entire Agreement. In that case, this Agreement shall be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it enforceable or valid within the requirements of applicable Law, and, in the event such term or provisions cannot be so limited, this Agreement shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable terms or provisions. If it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision relating to the distributions and allocations of the Company or to any expenses payable by the Company is invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted so as (a) to make it enforceable or valid and (b) to make the distributions and allocations as closely equivalent to those set forth in this Agreement as is permissible under applicable Law.

14.4     Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a)     Except for a Member’s right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief, in the event of any dispute arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof (including any dispute as to whether one or more Managers shall have unreasonably withheld consent in connection with the determination of the Management Adder pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof) (“Dispute”), the Members agree: first, to submit the Dispute for review by representatives from each Member, who shall meet promptly after the Dispute first arising at a mutually acceptable time, in person, to discuss in good faith and seek resolution of the applicable Dispute, and second, if the foregoing resolution procedure is unsuccessful within forty five (45) days of the first meeting of the applicable representatives, to submit the Dispute for resolution by “mini-trial”, unless they agree that such procedure is inappropriate for the matter in controversy. Such mini-trial shall be conducted in accordance with the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (CPR) Mini Trial Agreement for Business Disputes before a panel consisting of an executive with full decision-making authority from each Member and neutral mediator selected jointly by each Member. Limited discovery shall be permitted as agreed by the Members. The mini-trial shall be conducted in New York, New York, at an agreed time, place and date. Arguments may be presented by counsel or others as each Member deems appropriate. Each Member shall have no more than three (3) hours (which may be extended by mutual agreement) to present exhibits, testimonies, summaries of testimony and argument. No recording of the proceeding shall be permitted. The executives may have present and consult with other advisors as deemed appropriate. Such proceeding shall be confidential and, unless a mutually agreeable settlement is reached, no portion of the proceeding shall be binding on either Member or used for any purpose in any subsequent proceeding. If a mutually agreeable settlement is reached, the panel shall prepare or cause to be prepared a written settlement agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the settlement which shall be executed by each Member and shall be enforceable by, and binding upon, each Member. In the event a mutually agreeable settlement is not reached through use of the mini-trial proceeding or within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the initiation of the mini-trial procedure, any Member may initiate legal proceedings in accordance with Section 14.4(b). The neutral mediator shall be disqualified as a witness, consultant or expert in any subsequent proceeding.

(b)     Subject to Section 14.4(a), each Member hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally

submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (and if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks jurisdiction, another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware), and any appellate court from any thereof, for the resolution of any claim, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Company or its business or affairs (or any Membership Interests in the Company), or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each Member hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to assert or commence any claim, action or proceeding in connection with the foregoing except in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (and if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks jurisdiction, another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware), (ii) agrees that any claim, action or proceeding may be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (and if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks jurisdiction, another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware), and any appellate court from any thereof, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such claim, action or proceeding in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (and if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks jurisdiction, another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware), (iv) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such claim, action or proceeding in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (and if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks jurisdiction, another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware), and (v) agrees that service of process in any such claim, action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Member at its address set forth in Schedule A or at such other address that

it shall notify the Company. Each Member hereto whose address is not located within the United States agrees to appoint the Company’s registered agent as its agent for service of process with an address in the State of Delaware.

(c)     EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM WITH RESPECT THERETO. Each party hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party hereto has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 14.4.

14.5     Headings. Section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not intended to describe, interpret, define or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

14.7     Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any Member shall be in writing (including electronic mail, facsimile or similar writing) and shall be given to such Member (and any other Person designated by such Member) at its address, electronic mail, or facsimile number set forth in Schedule A hereto or such other address, electronic mail, or facsimile number as such Member may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (a) if given by telecopier, when transmitted to the number specified pursuant to this Section 14.7 and the appropriate confirmation is received, (b) if given by mail, seventy-two (72) hours after such communication is received by the other party, or (c) if given by electronic or any other means, when delivered to the address specified pursuant to this Section 14.7.
